SENT TO BORSTAL
"You have been given opportunities in the past, but have not availed yourself of them," said Mr. J. Morling, S.M., in the Police Court to-day, to Mary Kathleen Repia, 22, a quarter-caste Maori, who pleaded guilty to being an idle and disorderly person, with insufficient means of support. Sub-Inspector Joyce said the woman, who had been associating with Chinese, had been warned by the police, some weeks ago, about her mode of living, and was advised to seek work. She had failed to get work, and had continued to associate with undesirables..
Repia was sentenced to two years' Borstal.
